Crimestoppers - South Derbyshire

THANKS very much for all your calls regarding the crimes we featured last week.

We have seen an increase in thefts from sheds and garages.

Some of them are being left unlocked, so please make sure even if you are leaving your garage or shed for a short time – keep it locked.

Install a shed or garage alarm, which are widely available and inexpensive.

Mark all your property and make it identifiable.
